DISCUSS BOARDROOM DIVERSITY WITH MAJOR STAKEHOLDERS
According to the 2018–2019 NACD Public Company Governance Survey, more than half of companies have goals to diversify board composition. NACD has released the Director Tip Sheet: Discussing Boardroom Diversity With Major Shareholders to help inform director-investor conversations about board diversity and composition. This tip sheet, created with input from the investor community, offers information on
- investor representative contacts;
- questions investors and/or management may discuss with board leadership;
- helpful tips from the investor community and NACD; and
- research on current boardroom practices.
NACD has established NACD NXT™, a multiyear initiative, to provide boards with the tools, case studies, leading practices, and education necessary to discuss and improve board diversity and board recruitment practices. The entire NACD NXT toolkit, including the tip sheet and other resources like Investor Perspectives on Board Diversity, offers invaluable guidance on boosting your board's diversity of skills, experience, age, gender, and race/ethnicity among other attributes.
The NACD NXT toolkit is only available to NACD members; however, you are invited to download a complimentary copy of the Director Tip Sheet: Discussing Boardroom Diversity With Major Shareholders by completing the form.
